320 Words2 Pages

I wake up every morning, feeling like a force of pressure is going to crush me.I feel overwhelmed everyday by every little thing,I sense everyone judging me.I can feel their eyes piercing my heart, but I stand tall, and brave because I choose for Anxiety not to control my life.
Living with Anxiety is like being scared and tired at the same time.It's the fear of failure,failing at everything you do but no urge to be productive.To change something about yourself but too exhausted to.It's wanting friends but the feel to hate socializing.Thinking of what to say but instead you just stand there alone in the wind.It's about being alone but not wanting to be lonely, wanting someone to care about you when no one does,caring for everything then caring

  • The Theme Of Isolation In Of Mice And Men

    472 Words  | 2 Pages

    Loneliness and isolation, the feelings of being alone and disconnected from others.

Just because they have that one thing doesn’t mean they’ll never feel alone.
